The image of Windows/Microsoft has changed in the recent years. They now own gitHub, they have Azure and Code Studio, they are in the Linux Foundation. MS Win is catching up. I know lots of developers (mostly for big enterprises) who are coding with MS Win and like it.

Yes they have and I pretty much like what they are doing there but still most frontend development frameworks leaves out Windows or requires the developer jump through many hoops.

But after all it's all a matter of personal taste. I'm tired of flame wars as I fought too many.

I agree. Didn't want to start a flame war either. I was just curious to know and stated my (fully subjective) 2 cents.
